My son lived at home all year and went to a University full-time for a masters degree. We paid all living expenses for the year and took out loans to pay for tuition. He worked and made a little over $15,000. He did not contribute anywhere near half of his living expenses. Why can I not claim him as a dependent?
If he was not under the age of 24 at year end 2016, you can't claim him. The income limit for someone age 24 or older to be claimed as a dependent is $4050. That is the tax law for dependents.
